There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.
The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.
We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.
@molly0xfff is a leading cryptocurrency critic, but get to know her and you’ll see she’s anything but cynical about the future of the web. Hear why this researcher, writer and software engineer thinks so in this fascinating conversation with @mike:
Nel 2024, per la prima volta, si ha finalmente la sensazione di avere una massa critica di persone e piattaforme interessate a ridare vita a Internet per riportare in vita ciò che abbiamo perso e creare qualcosa di nuovo. Solo nell'ultima settimana ci sono state conversazioni fra #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #TheVerge, #Buttondown, #WriteFreely e diversi co-autori della specifica #ActivityPub. C'è la sensazione palpabile che questo possa essere l'anno del web aperto!
Dall'11 aprile, i curatori di @Flipboard hanno ricevuto più di 100.000 apprezzamenti, like e risposte da persone di tutto il #fediverso. Alla luce di questo segnale positivo da parte della comunità, oggi stanno federando altri 100 account che rappresentano più di 2.500 riviste su tutto, dal clima alla cultura!
Se state cercando ancora di capire cos'è Flipboard e cosa fa nel Fediverso, date un'occhiata qui:
I’ve been absolutely digging curating links on #space and more in many magazines on my #Flipboard account, now that it’s fully federating! 🚀🤓 Here’s my federated Flipboard username to follow: @moonmehta
645 days after setting up my own Mastodon instance, I finally tackled tuning my Postgres database config last wk & today setup multiple Sidekiq Processes after my queue got to 10K for the second time this wk
I read the guides multiple times over those 645 days but it never clicked in my head. I was afraid to mess with Sidekiq because I didn't want to brick my instance.
Then today, during the thunderstorm, the old grey cells clicked in and I understood.
I'll be honest. I am using my ElasticSearch powered Mastodon search more than Google, et al, now.
I followed #Flipboard's relay, which adds a lot of content from their magazines that link to sites as well as some other relays. I think they are the culprit for my now fixed long pull queues. Today there was no backlog. First time since I followed their relay.
Soon I'll need to work on database optimization, which will probably move it from this server.
It finally motivated me to tackle a server 'honey-do' project that I had been putting off for 645 days.😂
I'm just thankful I am finding neat and relevant content from #Flipboard's relay when I search, and I do several times a day, even if I don't see the Flipboard post when it comes through the firehose.✋ 👊
Wow! I’m one of the earliest writers for which #Flipboard has enabled federation. I curate links on #space & #Moon exploration on there, which you can now follow from Mastodon or anywhere in the Fediverse @moonmehta!
Question for the people! -- What platforms on the Fediverse offer the best content discovery capabilities? Services like Flipboard and Threads are integrated into the Fediverse now, we should be getting a lot of contents, but when I search for specific topics, the results are still really sparse. #fediverse#lemmy#mastodon#threads#flipboard
